Art Ovation Hotel, Autograph Collection

The room was clean and we were able to order food/drinks, as needed. The coffee maker wasn't stocked so, we needed to request additional pods for filling/using which was fine. They didn't answer the phone very quickly when we had questions which isn't horrible yet, it took time to engage everyone. Maybe they are understaffed? We went to the rooftop bar and no greeter so, we walked our way to the bar and had a long wait for service yet, the staff was nice yet, everything is a bit slow. Likewise, at night we attended the bar in the lobby and again, a long wait for service for both drinks and food yet, it happened. The artwork is okay - nothing outstanding. It's nice to see a place supporting artist on every floor with a gallery display of items that are for sale. Hopefully, they flip the artwork frequently for more interest and visability.

Room was a little shabby with peeling vinyl headboard and dated bathroom.

Property was nice very clean and modern.

The hotel is amazing but John he is even better! He took as to a ride to the beach and told as about all this gems around the hotel.. I recommend him %100!

Great location. Nice style

My wife and I just moved to Lakewood Ranch and decided to spend one night at Art Ovation to get familiar with the area. We were greeted by John your outstanding shuttle driver. He was very informative as to knowing what restaurants my wife and I would like. He took us to Mediterraneo on Main St. The food was delicious. Thank you John for going the extra mile for us.

Took my wife to Art Ovation’s rooftop for a date night and it was a great choice. The views and atmosphere were exactly what we were looking for. Kyle was our bartender and he was excellent. Super personable and made great drink recommendations. Every cocktail was spot on.

Came to Art Ovation’s rooftop for a date night with my husband and loved it. The view was beautiful and the vibe was perfect for a night out. Kyle was our bartender and he was fantastic. He was friendly, attentive, and made excellent cocktails. Everything came out quickly and tasted amazing. We’ll definitely be back.

Another wonderful 2 night getaway in Sarasota at the Art Ovation Hotel! Wes, Artem…you have a wonderful staff…and this will be a lengthy post because I want to recognize every single employee I interacted with during my stay.
Valet / bellmen: Sebastian, it was wonderful to see you again and hear about how well your schooling is going…thank you for the help with my car and bags upon my arrival. Floyd, you were great with directing me and my car during a busy entrance timer when I returned from shopping. Tony and Adam, so nice to see you guys again and thank you with my bags and car upon my departure.
Front desk: Addison, I appreciate you…from your checking me in and answering questions and for holding an item from the gift shop for me. Rakel and Agata, thank you so much for your smiles and greetings every time I passed by and answering any questions.
Tveza servers: Tin, Samuel, and Wei ….you all are so kind and gracious in your service and demeanor. A pleasure. And I really liked my Eggs Floridian! And host David, I enjoyed our brief chat.
Bartenders: Tom, I very much enjoyed meeting you and talking with you. Kristin, always nice to see your dedication when crafting cocktails and talking to you about local restaurants. Kyle at Perspective rooftop…I enjoyed talking with you (and Rio briefly). I love the evening lighting with the LED lamp towers…and that ‘igloo’ enclosure for a private table was very cool.
Shuttle driver Rich…thank you for taking me to and from my dinner out…my own private chauffeur!
Art Exhibit and lobby concert: Thank you Robyn…it was nice seeing you again and I very much enjoyed the concert in the lobby on Tuesday night…it was lovely. I also enjoyed very much ‘The Flag’ exhibit throughout the hotel…some pieces were quite thought provoking and moving.
Room Service: Jana, thank you bringing an unexpected treat to me. Beautiful little boxed macarons and petit fours.
And everyone else that I spoke with when I ‘crashed’ your employee party…Becky F, Monique, Mariah, John D, and Angela (wonderful to see you back at the hotel!)
If you’re still reading this long review and praise of staff, I also want to mention the hotel robes…best I have ever worn…so soft. (And they sell them in the gift shop…I have one at home)
The sketchbook in my room had a gorgeous drawing of the view of outside drawn from inside the room. The little coffee machine took me a minute, but all I had to do was read the directions on a card of how to operate. I bet some folks are intimidated by it, but I figured it out.
I did appreciate the little note in the room explaining why the headboards look the way they do…they are not dirty, but worn due to an inferior fabric and it is my understanding that the hotel rooms will have a remodel / refresh probably this summer during the ‘off season.’
Oh, and I found a gem of a little restaurant (Don Luigi) just across the street. I will have to post a separate review of that place…it was outstanding!
Artem and Wes, again,…the staff at Art Ovation is exactly like nothing else 😉 and I look forward to returning in the, hopefully, near future.

Perspective has a new manager NICOLE… she”s remarkable with her smile … thanks for that. Best place in Sarasota !!!! Don t miss it…

I went for my birthday an it was Latin Night , as soon as we arrived Rolando opened the door for us Dancing and welcoming us . Later on we met Nicole who find out it was my bday and she was so kind to give me a courtesy drink with sparkles ✨ it made me feel very special. If I’m not wrong Nicole is the manager and I’m actually impressed to see a manager present in a bar that late . All the team seem very happy to work there and with her . Very good vibes, very happy environment and the live music was perfect

Beautiful hotel. Amazing staff! Huge shoutout to our shuttle driver, John! He was such a delight! As soon as he picked us up from the airport, he gave such detailed and insightful advice and instructions for our stay. He even took the time out to give us a ride to pick up food near by. 10/10 highly recommend!

Matt Glubiak provided an outstanding level of customer service. He exemplifies the qualities of Art Ovation in his professionalism- has a command of the setting and can interact with multiple people and tasks at once. Thank you for your fantastic service, Matt, and I look forward to coming back to Art in the future!

The rooftop of Art Ovation is a beautiful place to watch the sunset and enjoy an end of the week cocktail! Service from Kyle is always 5 stars - he has an amazing memory for our order and greets everyone with a warm smile! The musicians and the view are world class! We highly recommend this to all our friends and visitors.

The staff makes this hotel! From the minute you walk in to check out, they do their best to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The shuttle service is a great perk as well, especially when John is the driver!
